Creating a Reply from an Outlook 2003 MSG file
I'm looking for a way to programmatically create a MailItem reply from an existing .MSG file using Outlook 2003.
I can open/extract information from the MSG using .CreateItemFromTemplate, but the .Reply method will not work on that mailitem, ostensibly since it is not in Outlook.
I saw another posting from Sue Mosher on the Namespace.OpenSharedItem method in Outlook 2007 that apparently can be used to add an existing MSG back into Outlook. However, I have not found anything equivalent for Outlook 2003.
The primary problem with creating a new mailitem and populating the to/from/subject and body is the body itself. Outlook will automatically add the To/From/Subject and item break line when creating a reply, which is what Im trying to accomplish by using Outlook to create the reply vs manually populating a new mailitem.
